Jamaican Halloween Spooktacular 2013 - Track Four - Midnight Organ

"Good midnight to you." It's with that innocent introduction that we are thrown into the next track of the 2013 Jamaican Halloween Spooktacular "Midnight Organ" by Basque Dub Foundation. Basque Dub Foundation, or BDF as they are commonly called, is a studio project of Spanish-born producer Iñaki Yarritu, started in the early 1990s. Unlike many bands of the era, BDF has strayed away from the digital sound that has become so omnipresent and stuck with a sound that remains firmly rooted in the distinctive reggae vibes of the 60s, 70s and 80s. The Hammond organ driven "Midnight Organ" is no exception and is taken from the flip side of a 2009 General Levy's track "Life Hard," a 7" on the Heartical label.

This smooth track coupled with the hypnotic invitation by the Young American Mystic Cult of Horrors makes for some great Spooktacular material. Have a great weekend folks, see you Monday!
